Yea, I would go with the Tokico Illuminas. You can grab the 2 front struts and two rear shocks on Ebay for $430. Something I plan on doing as soon as I earn some more $$$$.

in a pinch they are good,but if you want something adj. strange/tokico are both great products...i have the first,and i didn't think for $480 shipped wasn't bad either.

Well I figure I don't need adjustables because this is my daily driver and is probably going to see the track maybe once or twice a month. Am I wrong? Which would you guys recommend that are non-adjustable?

I would still go with adjustables if I were you.

I'm looking at the strange shocks on summit and I can get them for $380, does that sound right? They only make 10way adjustables correct? If so this looks like a pretty good deal.

here are the shocks/struts: http://store.summitracing.com/egnsea...=KeywordSearch
